Instalment of a Posselt's Textile Journal series on warp-pile fabrics made with an extra (pile) warp. It explains ground warp versus pile warp, terry (uncut) versus velvet (cut) pile, the wires and trevette knife used on hand looms, and how loops are formed. It then gives weave plans and fabric sections for common velvet weaves, including two-pick and three-pick velvets and a 6-harness twill ground, with repeats, warp and filling ratios, and pick-by-pick lifting instructions. The first page also carries the end of a preceding article on crepe weaves built on satin foundations (Figs. 12-17).
